حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ هَانِي بْنِ هَانِي عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ
لَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ؟» قُلْتُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا قَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ حَسَنٌ» فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ جَاءَ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ فَقُلْتُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ حُسَيْنٌ» فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتِ الثَّالِثَ جَاءَ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ فَقُلْتُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ مُحَسِّنٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «سَمَّيْتُهُمْ بِوَلَدِ هَارُونَ شَبَرَ وَشُبَيْرَ وَمُشَبِّرَ»

When al-Hasan was born, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said: “Show me my son; what did you name him?ʿ I said: I named him Harb [which means ʿwarʿ]. He said: ʿRather he is Hasan.” When al-Husain was born, he said: ʿShow me my son; what did you name him?ʿ I said: I named him Harb, He said: ʿRather he is Husain.” When the third one was born, the Prophet ﷺ said: ʿShow me my son; what did you name him?ʿ I said: Harb, He said: “Rather. he is Muhassin.” Then he said: “I have named them after the fashion of the sons of Haroon, Shabbar and Shabeer and Mushabbir.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 953)
